Disconnected

Chase me into the ocean Is it so bad to ask for devotion I'm running out of motivation To delve into emotion I think I'm going to float awhile Forget everything else Forget my job and my lack of friends Forget my crippling anxiety and paranoia I think I'm going to disconnect They told me I could be anything And maybe I didn't really listen Because life is what I've been missin' And all I can do is sing I'm a dramaphone all alone Grown but I've been shown There is no greener grass on either side And maybe they all just lied I think I'm going to float awhile As I reflect on my change in style Forget everything else Forget my stupid body weight Forget my lazy eye and scars I think I'm going to disconnect I used to just want to feel But now nothing feels real It's like my past is a highlight real Of poor decisions and deals They say time heals But I'm stuck on a car with no wheels And I feel discombobulated In this world so overpopulated If only I didn't feel so lonely If only they could show me Life gets better than this Chase me into the ocean It's not like I'll beg for devotion Because I've run out of motivation To reach for emotion
